Almost One Tenth As Old As America

Last Glasses Post

Monday, July 16, 2012

When I had my eye exam, I had them order up three pairs of frames for me to look at from my usual EasyClip collection. I really like that the magnetic sunglasses are integrated into the total design. Well, I never heard from the vision place, so I started the Warby Parker frame shopping.

On Saturday my driver’s license renewal application came in the mail. Rather than take the DMV’s eye exam it is easier to get your eye care professional to fill out that side of the form, so we stopped in on the way home to get that done. While there I asked whatever happened to those frames I wanted to see. Turns out they had one of them, but were waiting on the other two before letting me know.

I tried on the one pair and didn’t really care for them, so we started trying on some of the other glasses with magnetic sunglasses that they had in the store. None of them floated my boat. Then we moved onto some of their sort of retro frames with not much more luck. At this point I was getting tired at staring at my own face (as I’m sure you are too) and was about to close my eyes and pick something at random, sort of a Pin The Glasses On The Man game, when Crystal who was patiently helping us out said, “I’ve just thing for you.”

She came out of the back of the store with three pairs of frames. The first one was OK, the second the same, but number three was the winner, the Eddie Bauer 8206 in Tortoise/Sapphire.

What about sunglasses you ask? Why Transitions of course.

Started up, went down, back up, still up.

sturgeon’s law

"Ninety Percent Of Everything Is Crap"
Derived from a quote by science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon, who once said, "Sure, 90% of science fiction is crud. That's because 90% of everything is crud." Oddly, when Sturgeon's Law is cited, the final word is almost invariably changed to 'crap'.
